AIM Phoenix domain hacked

Sorry to bump an old post, but do you still have a copy of that old source code? I wanted to play around with.

Somewhere, I’d argue it isn’t worth it. There are actually viable open-source projects for the OSCAR protocol nowadays. (see: GitHub - mk6i/retro-aim-server: Self-hostable instant messaging server that makes classic AIM and ICQ clients work again. (Independently developed, not affiliated with or endorsed by AOL))

For anybody curious, I remember the copy I had came with the entire database, it was “encrypted” but was extremely easy to decrypt (a simple php script could do it).

It was pretty silly.

Bump.

Phoenix was mentioned on some news articles IIRC. I don’t know but hosting on Windows Server 2003 then getting popularity is pretty crazy.

Yahoo! Finance article, seriosuly?!

P.S.: Do not use Phoenix.
